I’ve not seen enough people talk about how Delroy Lindo needs to be in an Oscar conversation after his performance in #Sinners and I don’t really like that

It’s a day ending in y, so that must mean UNC is doing something embarrassing
This is the first media coverage that I have seen of the UNC board's quiet decision to largely pause granting tenure outside of the health sciences. This is worth watching over the coming weeks.
At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure
The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.

This administration does not care about Jewish safety, they care about dismantling higher education and crushing dissent by any means possible. This is a threat to all who value democracy.

Something that may be missed is how harmful not having this information would be for any sort of future of national intelligence apparatus, if we are fortunate enough to have one. It isn’t solely the ridiculousness of not facilitating academic freedom at the place that educates future military…smh

LOUDER please.
As vile as this is from House Republicans, there are elected Democrats right now who are taking the public position that the party must abandon trans people, including, I guess, one of their own colleagues
NEW: Speaker Johnson announces anti-trans House, Capitol bathroom ban.

The attacks on Sarah McBride are now leading to policies that would harm her, staffers, visitors — anyone.
